Holla! We are back in KL!!!
Had a great trip to Penang.... and it was also a refreshing break to drop everything and forget about work or studies for awhile. Haha. And oh yes my baby's hair is getting pretty long... ^^ I like.....

The mane of the Iron Lion.....
XD haha I'm sorry... ignore my random crap...

And oh yes, back to Penang... I'm not exactly great with descriptives so lets have the pictures do some of the talking, yes? ;)

First stop upon arrival at the island was the Kek Lok Si Temple... which also doubled as a version of Petaling Street with the numerous souvenir shops along the way up... decided to drop by as it was still to early to check into our hotel - dad began driving at 6am.....


Turtles :D

Part of the coutyard

And after that we checked into Berjaya Georgetown Hotel...

And this is our room on the 20th floor. Believe it or not.... dad and mom got Ernie and I our very own room. :DDD Yes you heard right. No I kid you not.
Poor sayang.... was so tired from the long car trip...

Being the annoying girlfriend that I am......

Some chocolate boutique we stopped by... nothing special =/ Just alot of crazy expensive stuff...

One of the Burmese temples...

They got some very detailed and intricate carvings as part of the architecture

Fort Cornwallis.... lol.


Yea they had this rifle and stuff you could pose for pics with...

Ernie trying to kill Mr. Francis Light....

And here comes Brian to the rescue!!! XD

Giant swing!!! :DDD


My bro...

Boys will be boys....... Hehes

Hmmmm what else do we love about Penang? FOOD!!!!! ^^

Along Jalan MacAllister...

Some pretty good ais kacang there...

Oh and Ernie went calling I-dont-know-how-many people asking where the best duck egg char kuey teow was.... and everyone gave a different location! XD Lol.... so we went everywhere ordering char kuey teow. But end of the day... the verdict for the best still went to Gurney Drive... which we ate dinner at for both days of our stay!

Our dinner spread at Gurney Drive

Ernie and I ordered this from some special burger stand that has apparently won many awards for the best burgers and stuff... the guy makes his own patties from kebab meat... and this is a turkey + beef burger with sausage slices. SERIOUSLY good stuff.... very satisfying.... :)

And what we did after a shower later that night XD
And in case if you're wondering... seemingly naked person in the mirror is not me.
I'm sorry... did I dissapoint you....? :D

Day 2 on the way up Bukit Bendera....

Gorgeous view.... such a shame that we couldn't go all the way up to the highest station as the cables were under manteinance.... :(

Oh and I have to credit Su Fen for recommending this place.... :D The Tropical Spice Garden.... Entrance fee was pretty steep at RM15 per head... but I enjoyed it very much for the beautiful landscaping and scenery... and water features... I LOVE WATER FEATURES! Such a pity that.... being the big oaf that I am.... the cam ran out of battery cos I forgot to charge it..... @%$@!*#$%.... if not there would've been many, many more pretty pics... I wonder if they allow bridal shoots in here???? Teehee...


Check out my bro in the background.... XD

A small waterfall at the top of a hill

MORE giant swings :D

Lol alamak my arm's covering Ernie's face!!

And then all 3 of us were swinging pretty hard on the thing.... and only after we got off, Ernie read this sign that said "seats up to 2 persons"........ =.=

My bro "cooking curry".....

Another one of the features I really loved... The hanging wooden platform overlooking the ocean at the cafe. Simply beautiful....

And what's next??



More food!! It was back to our hotel for a simple yet satisfying buffet lunch


And then it's nap-time for my room-wrecker boyfriend

You tell me lah who else will sleep like that.... =.=
Tsk... If only he didn't look so adorable... XD

Oh well. While sayang sleeps... Kimmie camwhores!! ^^
My hair's grown too kaaay~ LOL

Back at Gurney Drive

Probably doesn't look like anything thaaat special at first glance... but that's actually some pretty good fried mantis prawn.

Chilled out at the hotel lounge after dinner before hitting the sack...

And then it was off and away on the ferry to begin our journey home to good ol' PJ.
Stopped over briefly in Ipoh too for dinner and to literally fill the remaining boot-space with snacks and food....

What can I say.... it was a trully enjoyable getaway, and we absolutely have my parents to thank for the great trip. Wouldn't have been possible if it wasn't for my mom and dad! The food, the shopping, everything. Woot!! Speaking of the shopping............ *evil snickers* Managed to get some props for my cosplays... and lil' indulgences.... like my two new monokinis.... *guilty grin* Yea well I don't need them but... :D You heard nothing!!!

We are looking at some seeeerious body rehab work now. ;)
TWO WEEKS TO SINGAPORE!!!!
